NBL Play-a-likes

Do you have a few NBL play-a-likes - ie guys who play like former greats?

I think Rhys Martin plays a lot like Phil Smythe; not just the balding similarities, the tempo, the smarts, being a floor general, occasional 3.

A lot of people have said Todd Blanchfield is the reincarnation of Sam Mackinnon

Mark Worthington and Andrew Vlahov - tough, hard worker, not a natually gifted scorer but efficient enough

Jamar Wilson actually reminds me a lot of Cal Bruton - kinda old school game

Do you agree? have any others?

Probably Markovic and Trahiar.

Blanchfield is Sam Mackinnon with 3 point range, but not quite the footwork.

Both suffer(ed) from passivity, despite their monumental athletic gifts.

Sam Mackinnon probably spent more time in the weight room too.
